Genesis of the CSIRO polymer group and the discovery and significance of nitroxide‐mediated living radical polymerization

David H. Solomon

Abstract: The background to the formation of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) polymer group is discussed. In particular, the challenges of working with high‐conversion polymerization, as found in commercial systems, and the need to explain variations in polymer properties led to important advances in the theory of radical polymerization and control over both the initiation and termination steps. Studies on the fate of the macromonomer, formed in termination by disproportionation, … Show more

“…Os produtos formados são termolábeis, podendo clivar-se homoliticamente, regenerando as espécies radicalares (Figura 3). O iniciador neste caso é um monômero funcionalizado com nitróxido que, ao clivar-se, forma o monômero radical e o nitróxido controlador [16] . Aqui outra vez o equilíbrio está deslocado para a formação das espécies dormentes, o que diminui muito a concentração de radicais na solução e a probabilidade da terminação (Figura 3).…”

“…It is used in gas-phase radical initiated peptide sequencing, an alternative to electron capture and electron transfer dissociation [14]. Finally, TEMPO is used in nitroxide-mediated living radical polymerisation [15][16][17] and as a structural probe in electron spin resonance spectroscopy [4]. A new TEMPO analogue made conveniently from so-called frustrated Lewis pairs and NO has recently been characterised [18].…”
